Stepping Into Logan's Shoes.
CHICAGO, February 10th.-Illinois poll
ticians are in hubbub over the apparently
well-founded report that General Logans
political shoes are being negotiated for, if
not already acquired by John Sherman, of
Ohio. The rumor grows out of the fact
that Jones, the Chairman of the Republi.
can State Central Committee, and Logan's
only lieutenant, except the latter's wife,
has been for number of days holding
mysterious conferences with Sherman at
Washington.
A private dispatch says Jones and Sher-
man are almost inseparable. They took
dinner together Tuesday, and were engaged
in long and earnest conversation, while
all the time the great Blaine partisan, Sen
ator Farwell, of Chicago, sat at another
table and eyed them curiously.

the river, dragging her anchor, for more
than mile and half, resisting all efforts
to stop her. Opposite Christopher street
the steamer Lone Star was anchored. The
Wells City drifted broadside upon her bow
and was struck by the cutwat of the
Lone Star, knocking hole in her hull. A
crew of twenty-three men and the Captain
took to the boats before the steamer sank.

last night. They were discovered by the
railroad agent and he at once opened fire
on them. One thief was shot, but man
aged to get to the Raritan river, where he
jumped in, hoping to escape by swimming
to TIE other side. Loss of blood weakened
him greatly and the icy water numbed
him. When but few feet from shore
he sank with despairing cry and was
drowned. The pal of the drowned thief
made desperate struggle for freedom, but
was overpowered and taken into custody.
The robbers were members OF the same
gang who entered the Jersey City Postof-
flee few days ago, bound the watchman
and janitor and tried to rob the safe.
